Ferrari is the most famous and celebrated marque in motorsport, and one of the most recognisable brands in the world - but how much do you really know about its founder, Enzo Ferrari?
If your answer to that question is 'very little' then help is at hand, because Season 3 of And Colossally That's History! is kicking off with a double header of Enzo episodes!
On this first episode, Matt Bishop and Enzo Ferrari biographer Richard Williams go back to the very beginning, to explore the events and experiences that helped shape the mindset and attitude of a man who'd build a racing empire.
They explain the mystique around his birth, the moment that a young Enzo developed a love of racing, and how his mother helped get him into the motor trade (Enzo having barely survived World War 1).
There's also detailed analysis of Enzo's own career behind the wheel, including why he gave up his career as a racing driver to become a team manager, and the key moments that led to him establishing himself as a constructor in his own right - despite him never designing so much as a hubcap in his life.
As is usual with Colossally, you can expect amusing anecdotes and amazing anorak facts in abundance, as Matt and Richard bring you right up to the point that Ferrari wins its first world championship Grand Prix at Silverstone, in 1951, before pausing to pick up the rest of the Ferrari story in Part 2.
Matt and Richard will be bringing members an exclusive Q&A episode at the end of Season 3, where they'll answer questions on each of the topics covered. So if you'd like to ask a question about Enzo Ferrari, head to Patreon.com/therace

We dissect Ferrari’s disappointing start to the season and ask if there’s any sign of a turnaround in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Ben Anderson and Roberto Boccafogli, who is a key part of The Race’s new Italian YouTube channel, join Edd Straw to consider an Italian perspective on goings on at Ferrari.
We also evaluate Lewis Hamilton’s start, and the impact of his sprint-race win in China, and how Italy has taken to him after his arrival.
The question of whether Kimi Antonelli has moved the needle in his home country is also discussed.
With The Race already on the ground in Japan, we hear from Luke Hinsull and Scott Mitchell-Malm, who were there for Tsunoda-related events in Tokyo, as well as asking what the new Red Bull Racing driver can achieve on home soil this weekend.
Scott even grabs a few minutes with Tsunoda himself to talk through his preparations and expectations ahead of Suzuka.

In the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, we ask to what extent Max Verstappen’s brilliance is papering over the cracks at Red Bull, given the team's struggles with its second driver, its difficult car, and the continued exodus of senior personnel.
Nelson Valkenburg and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to evaluate what Verstappen has to do to make things work at Red Bull, and what he makes of the latest driver switch.
We also look at Yuki Tsunoda’s prospects for Suzuka and beyond in place of Liam Lawson, and the skill set that should at least make him better prepared than his predecessor.
We also tackle more listener questions on a variety of topics ranging from who would be Verstappen’s optimum team-mate to the value of the four-times world champion’s sim-racing endeavours.

The Team Principal Podcast is back! On episode 2, Otmar Szafnauer - the former TP of Racing Point, Alpine and Aston Martin - is joined by Ben Anderson to get into the thorny subject of F1 politics.
They begin by discussing internal politics at Red Bull, and whether they played a part in the team dropping Liam Lawson for Yuki Tsunoda after just two races. Otmar also shares his thoughts on how fellow TP Christian Horner has managed the situation.
After that, Otmar discusses the times in his career where he’s had to deal with intra-team politics, including the time he had to resist pressure from a team owner to sign a particular driver, and the time he had to convince Alpine management to capitalise on uncertainty around a driver’s contract. He also explains how team culture is essential to prevent political in-fighting within a team, and how politics contributed to his Alpine exit.
There’s also chat about inter-team politics, and the tactics teams use off-track to gain an edge over the opposition. Otmar also recalls the time he found himself in the middle of a political storm over the so-called ‘Pink Mercedes’ affair, and explains how and why alliances shift between teams. He also takes us into a meeting of team principals, explains how bosses use the media for their own benefit, and much more.
Plus, after Eddie Jordan’s sad recent passing, Otmar pays tribute to a fellow team principal gone too soon.

We discuss Red Bull’s imminent replacement of Liam Lawson with Yuki Tsunoda in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Jon Noble joins Edd Straw to discuss the move and explain what it says about Red Bull’s driver strategy.
We discuss why Lawson couldn’t extract the pace from the Red Bull RB21 that Max Verstappen can and what it was about his progress that persuaded the team to abandon him so quickly.
And with Tsunoda now having the chance of a lifetime, we ask if he’s got what it takes to make a success of his opportunity.

Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm to dissect the Chinese Grand Prix, in which Oscar Piastri showed his title credentials with an impressive victory ahead of McLaren team-mate Lando Norris.
Edd, Scott and Jon (with help from Mark Hughes!) discuss how Piastri made the race his, unpick the brake issue that hampered Norris, and outline why Saturday's impressive sprint winner - Lewis Hamilton - was disqualified from the race, along with Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc and Alpine's Pierre Gasly.
There's also chat about Liam Lawson's perilous position at Red Bull, about Haas's surprise turn of pace, and about Alex Albon's strong start to the year, plus the guys answer another bumper crop of questions from The Race Members' Club.

Bring Back V10s pays tribute to the late Eddie Jordan with a special episode looking back at the Jordan team's greatest moments in F1.
Host Glenn Freeman is joined by Ben Anderson and Matt Beer to debate which of Jordan's many highlights during its memorable time in F1 should be considered the brightest and best, charting the team's journey from a newcomer that had to go through pre-qualifying, to a brief title contender by the end of the 1990s before its decline set in during the early years of the 21st century.

On this special episode of The Race F1 Podcast, we pay tribute to legendary F1 team boss Eddie Jordan, following his sad passing.
Edd Straw is joined by Jon Noble, who as a journalist enjoyed many encounters with Jordan in the F1 paddock, and Gary Anderson, EJ's friend and former colleague, who designed the very first Jordan F1 car and was the team's long-time technical leader.
Together, they reflect on the life and legacy of a man who was a true original - the last of the truly successful independent Formula 1 team owners and one of the most charismatic figures ever to grace grand prix racing.

The FIA’s latest flexi-wing tweak is the big talking point in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Jon Noble and Edd Straw convene in China to explain why such sudden action has been taken ahead of this weekend’s race in Shanghai.
We then get into questions from The Race Members’ Club, starting off with why the FIA doesn’t leave flexi-wings alone and the terms of the newly (part) agreed Concorde Agreement.
There’s also questions about Williams’s step, Liam Lawson’s position and Helmut Marko’s contribution.
The progress of Racing Bulls, Lando Norris’s most likely title rivals and the reasons why handling characteristics can persistently even amid big car changes from year to year are also among the talking points.

Scott Mitchell-Malm and Jon Noble join Edd Straw to run through the whole field and set the scene for this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix and beyond.
